As a longtime fan of the Stalker series, I must say that my emotions are a rollercoaster with the release of Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. The game has been in development for 15 years, and it’s finally here – rough edges and all!

After a span of fifteen years, Stalker 2 has arrived at last, albeit in a more rugged state than some might anticipate. In our assessment, we labeled this fresh survival game as “Stalker to the core,” embodying both the strengths and shortcomings characteristic of its forerunners. The creators at GSC Game World are cognizant of these aspects.

In an open message to their fans, the developer acknowledged that the game had some rough spots when it initially launched. However, they reassured players that they are fully invested in enhancing this game throughout its lifespan. Not only will they be addressing the typical issues, but they also plan to provide new, free content as part of numerous upcoming updates.

Stalker 2 devs admit “rough edges”

In a recent fan letter, GSC Game World clarifies that while their upcoming survival game sequel boasts an expansive setting, there may still be some unpolished areas or challenges for players to navigate.

“We literally haven’t released anything of this scale before. We’re absolutely committed to being here, monitoring your feedback, and quickly fixing any issues that need our attention. In the first days after release, we’ll be working with hotfixes, rolling them out as precisely as possible, but as frequently as we can.”

The studio clarified that following the forthcoming adjustments, the team intends to move towards “significant updates incorporating continuous enhancements.” In December, enthusiasts can expect a look at the development plan, which will feature new elements, substantial upgrades, and “complimentary in-game content” for gamers.

As a devoted team member, I can confidently say that this project is an embodiment of endless love and passion from all of us. You’ll truly sense our dedication as you explore the meticulously crafted world, tinker in the lab, traverse the poppy fields, embark on your first mission, engage in intense battles with bloodsuckers, reload your freshly designed weapons for the first time, or catch a glimpse of Pripyat under moonlight. There are countless aspects of the game that we take immense pride in.

Currently playable on PC and Xbox Series, Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is a game that’s certain to provoke strong opinions, as it might be adored or despised. Regardless, it’s destined to become a cult classic in the years to come. While it may not have the sleek perfection of some other games, there’s no denying the passion that went into its creation.
